Very nice setup. Similar to what I and a friend are using. We are using large Bill Woods wooden Conical Horns (which will soon have bronze cast throats with JBL 2440, Radian diaphragms crossing around 350 hz to a similar slightly smaller (to your Peavey FH1) Klipsch Belle style bass horns, Crites 15 inch bass drivers. With a little bit of eq flat to low 30's in the bass. Around 105 db efficient. The midrange horn crosses to a 9 element diaphragm Coral horn super tweeter being driven with amazing sounding Audio Antiquary power amp (based on Klangfilm circuit, almost nothing in the signal with driver tube, massive interstage transformer, output tube, output transformer). Preamps are either new Shindo Monbrison (the good sounding one) or Siemens c3g Audio Antiquary pre (again with interstage and massive output transformer). Hard to go back to a smaller horn system (more regular speakers) after hearing these. No cupped hands colouration hearing mine in person so yours might be a microphone / recording artefact. I also have lots of different open baffles and they are great but for me they are not big horns.
yes, its tragedy, sound is mufled, no dynamics left. tried at liest 3 trafos, all were bad, this option is only good for very bright speakers, and cheap shouty horns . Trafos only positive is they have somewhat darker/black backround,but its noticeble only by golden ears :) good capacitor is always better if you like lively presentation of amp.
@@vismantasbagdonas4699 that is strange every discreption of interstage i have heard was the opposite. Did you use a real interstage with a 1:1 winding ratio.
@@williammeincke9071 i was told it is good, but my test showed oposite. so im just sharing my experience. jupiter copper cap is much more open and faster sounding than any exotic trafo.
Other than the woman sounds like she's standing inside a wooden box while singing they are nice and clear. You should hear them on my system and you would see what I'm talking about. I have open baffles.
I personaly do not like OB, they have some good things.. but everytime i listened to them i disliked them. Maybe they were bad speakers.. but thats my expirience with OB
@@vismantasbagdonas4699 They were indeed bad speakers It took me 2 years to get these to sound the way they do. I run 3" fostex for the top end, 15" PRV Alto's for the Mids and have Dayton 12" subs on the bottom.and like I said years of trying different things but eventually I hit the trifecta that satisfied my ears and I haven't changed them in 7 years.

have you tried interstage transformers?
